Chapter 14

"How come we aren't going to the beach today?" Cameron wanted to know.

"Daddy and I thought it would be fun to do something else today. We went to the beach three days in a row. There are other things to do on the island. So today we are doing something that is Jake's favorite thing." Elizabeth told her eldest son.

"I wike the beach." Jake told his mom. He didn't want Cameron to be mad at him.

"I know." Elizabeth knew that Jake would agree to things to make his brother happy. A bit of hero worship was fine, but she wasn't going to let her youngest son bury his wants because of Cameron.

"We are going to the zoo and aquarium." Jason told the boys.

"I wike the zoo!" Jake said excited. It was his all-time favorite thing to do. Daddy took him when they were back home. Once they went when Cam had been in school and it had just been him and daddy. That was a great day.

"We know." Elizabeth laughed at his excitement. "That's why we are going. I'm sure Cam will have fun too."

"Zoos are cool." The six year old said knowing better than to pout. Neither one of his parents tolerated that, or whining. Plus Cameron was old enough to understand that Jake would be happier if he liked something too.

"We are going to have a good time." Elizabeth promised her boys. She reached over and rubbed her hand across Jason's shoulders. He was a bit tense. This morning during breakfast he had gotten a call from Port Charles. Whatever he had been told made him angry, but he wasn't letting it affect their vacation. Later she would see if he wanted to talk. "What does everyone want to see?"

"Monkeys." Jake said first. He loved monkeys, they were funny.

"I want to see some sharks." Cameron said before looking over at his father. "What do you want to see daddy?"

"I think I'd like to see the turtles." Jason told his sons. He had gotten information from the concierge and the aquarium had an exhibit devoted to the Galapagos Islands. "What about you Mommy?"

"I want to see the birds." Elizabeth loved seeing birds in their natural habitat. Or replicas of their habitats.

"Mommy wikes the birdhouse at the zoo." Jake told his daddy.

"That's good to know." Jason would make sure they spent some time there. "We are here." He held the door open for his family and linking hand with his girl followed the chattering boys to the entrance.

They made sure to see everything everyone mentioned in the town car before finding their way to Discovery Cove. This area was in interactive section designed to allow children to get hands on with nature. Lots of things to touch, and climb. Along with shows throughout the day where children got to learn about some of the different species that shared our planet.

During one show Elizabeth urged Jason to the back of the room while the boys sat on a bench to learn about some of the fish native to the local waters. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked as they sat on a bench watching their boys.

"Not really, but you need to know." Jason said taking a calming breath. "Lucky and Sam are back in Port Charles. Cody wanted to have a better idea what they are up to before he called me."

"I'm guessing it has something to do with my winning the lottery?" Elizabeth asked her husband. In the back of her mind she knew there was a chance this might happen. Lucky was too greedy to let this opportunity pass. "I don't want him near the boys." She figured that would be his approach. Saying his missed Cameron and wanted to be back in his life.

"The boys don't seem to be on Lucky's mind. He's following your grandmother." Jason explained.

Elizabeth took a minute before answering. She wanted to say that Audrey wouldn't fall for Lucky's bullshit, but that might not be true. Despite the fact that Jason was the father of both her great-grandsons Audrey thought Lucky wanted to be a part of Cameron's life and Liz wouldn't let him. Which was only half true, Liz wouldn't let Lucky near her son but that was only after he repeatedly hurt Cameron by not coming by when he said he would. When he made it clear that he didn't want to be Cameron's father because she wouldn't be his wife, then he started publicly attacking her she took the necessary steps to protect them.

Still when Lucky came to see Audrey before he left town and told the older woman he was trying to do better. That he had stopped taking the pills and was straightening out his life she believed it. He said he didn't want to leave town, but between Liz and Jason it wasn't safe for him to stay. Especially since he was dating Sam. Audrey swallowed that too. Elizabeth had laid out the truth for her grandmother, but there was still a part of Audrey that thought Lucky was this golden boy who saved Elizabeth. Nothing could be further from the truth. "Has he been talking with her?"

"No, he hasn't let her know he is in Port Charles. My guys searched their hotel room and found rope and chloroform. Cody thinks Lucky is going to kidnap Audrey and hold her for ransom." Jason told his wife.

"My Gram has a heart condition. Being tied up for a long period of time might kill her, not to mention what the drug might do to her." Elizabeth said worried.

"They won't get near your grandmother." Jason promised. "Our guys are keeping track of them." Not being home was hard for Jason. He wanted to handle this personally. However now that he was a boss he needed to pass things like this off to his guys. His hands needed to stay clean. Francis was counting on him to keep upstate New York stable and leaving his family for a prison stint wasn't an option.

"You will take care of this." Elizabeth had faith in Jason. "I know its wrong, but I wish there was a way my grandmother could see this side of Lucky. He needs to be pushed off the pedestal she has him on."

Jason was surprised to hear that. "Do you think she would help us bait a trap?"

"I'm positive she would, only to prove you wrong." Elizabeth knew how stubborn her grandmother could be. "What did you have in mind?"

"Nothing." Jason told her. "I hadn't even considered it before now."

"You should have her call Lucky." Elizabeth decided on the spot. "She should ask him to come back to Port Charles because you are going to be a bad influence on the boys. Have her say he can stay with her. He will more than likely take the opportunity to try and kidnap her then. Maybe even hold her in her own house."

"She might give us away." Jason pointed out.

"Even if she does you have guys watching Lucky and Sam. They won't get far." She said shrugging. She was essentially helping to plan the murders of her ex-husband and Jason's ex-girlfriend because that was how this was going to end. But if they were allowed to leave, it would only be a matter of time before they tried something else.

"Let me call Cody." Jason would do it now. The sooner they did this the better.

"I'll wait here." Elizabeth said leaning back against the wall. She wasn't the least bit sorry at what she had suggested. The safety of her family always came first.

"Mrs. Hardy." Cody walked up to the older woman who was standing by the elevator at General Hospital. Even though she didn't work here any longer she still served on the board and oversaw the annual holiday party. It took a lot of work to pull it off, especially the donations of gifts, so the committee generally started meeting in the late spring. This was a safe place to meet as Lucky nor Sam, could stay hidden here. Epiphany would bust them for lurking. The woman was scary. "May I speak with you?"

"Absolutely Mr. Paul." Audrey might not approve of their jobs but she was never rude to the men who worked for Jason. Civil was the term for their interactions. "What did you need?"

He indicated they should sit in one of the empty waiting areas. "Lucky Spencer and Sam McCall have been watching you."

"Nonsense." Audrey told the younger man. "Why would they do that?" She asked playing with the charm on her necklace.

Cody picked up on the nervous tick, and the fact that her heart rate was increasing. "We suspect that they are going to try to use you to get some of Elizabeth's lottery winnings."

"I'm sure Lucky doesn't need Elizabeth's money. He is a very smart young man and is running a successful bar in Texas." Audrey said defending Lucky. "If he's here for any reason it's more than likely to see Cameron. I know he was sorry for how that ended."

Cody hadn't realized that Audrey knew what Spencer was currently doing. Which meant she was in contact with Lucky. Based on her behavior right now, probably recently. He was also surprised to hear her saying such positive things about Lucky. Jason could save the older woman's life, which he was actually doing now, and she would still look at him and see a criminal. While that was true, it was also true of Spencer. "We think he is planning on kidnapping you."

Audrey just shook her head. She had talked with Lucky just last night. He had asked to come over and talk about Cameron, and maybe getting a chance to see him. She had explained the boys were out of town with Elizabeth and Jason but that Lucky was welcome to come over anyway. He was coming for dinner, but she had said Sam had to stay away. That girl was pure trash. Audrey knew Mr. Paul was wrong and she would prove it. "Lucky has already called me."

"Okay." Cody had wondered why his guys were reporting no sightings today. A quick check had shown that Lucky and Sam were spending the day by the pool at the hotel.

"He is coming to dinner tonight. You are welcome to come as well." Audrey told him.

"I don't think Lucky will show if I'm there." Cody was going to have guys in the area.

"He doesn't have to know." Audrey didn't like lying but this would prove once and for all that they were wrong about Lucky. Yes he had made a mistake with the drugs, but he was clean now. So he deserved a second chance. "You can stand in Steve's office and listen to our conversation. That will let you know that Lucky coming has nothing to do with Elizabeth's money."

"What time?" Cody wanted to know.

"Lucky will be over at seven." Audrey told him.

"I'll be there by five." Cody told her. He would bring back up because he suspected Lucky was going to make his move tonight. He needed to call Jason.

"I'll see you then." Audrey said knowing she was right.

"She just invited you over?" Sam said thinking the older woman was an idiot.

"I told you she likes me. I single handedly put Elizabeth back together after she was raped. Audrey is grateful for that." Lucky said giving his girlfriend a grin. "Once I'm in the house, I'll call you over. Check out of here and go hang out at Jake's." It no longer mattered if they were seen. "When I have her secured we just have to wait for Liz to come back. Audrey said they are due home on Saturday. We'll spend tonight and tomorrow at the Hardy house."

"I have to admit that I didn't think you could pull this off." Sam was impressed. "Once we get the money we need to leave immediately. I'm sure Jason will take action. After all we are kidnapping his wife's grandmother." She said wife with a healthy dose of venom. The news of the marriage had broken this morning after Diane made a trip to the county records office to file the license.

"I have that covered too." Lucky had contacts in Canada that would get him a flight to Cuba. Even Jason couldn't touch him there. Sam was going to be staying in Port Charles as the scapegoat. "You just need to relax and go with the plan." He tipped his beer bottle in her direction before relaxing in the pool lounger. Easy money, and he wasn't going to have to share a dime.

Thanks for the reviews!
